Badia Prataglia vacation rentals

My husband and I were married at La Vecchia Quercia on Aug 4, 2019, and there are not enough kind words to describe Francesca, her team, and their property. The villa itself is stunning, with possibly the most incredible view of the Tuscan countryside I have ever seen. We felt as if we were walking around in a dream for our entire stay there. The villa seems to have a soul itself, and is full of happy memories from all of the guests who have stayed there. The property is about an hour and a half drive from Florence (on scenic windy roads through the countryside - also an amazing experience!), and is only five minutes from Poppi village. If you are looking for an escape from your daily life, and to feel immersed in nature and history, this is the place for you. We stayed there in the hottest month of the year and were nervous about the temperature for our wedding, but the villa's location on the hillside means you get a beautiful breeze coming through the valley, and even when temperatures were above 35 degrees during the day, it was cool and comfortable at night. As far as Francesca goes, she is the ultimate, ultimate host. When we were deciding where to get married, it was Francesca who sold us on this property above all else. She is kind, responds quickly, and is super attentive to details. She helped us with all aspects of the wedding, and directed us to vendors in the neighbourhood who would be of service to us. This villa is personally important to her, and that shines through in every square inch of the property. All of our guests were in awe of this villa, and asked us to please renew our vows again as soon as possible so we could all return there as soon as possible. This is a special place unlike any other, and if you are on the fence about booking - just do it! You won't be disappointed. Thank you Francesca for everything, we will cherish our memories there forever!!
